St Marcellus,
Rome

San Marcello al Corso

Built on the site of a church from the 4th Century, the church dedicated to Pope St Marcellus I (308-309) is one of the first Roman tituli. The present church realizes a design by Antonio Sangallo the younger featuring a single nave with no aisles or transcept.

Between 1682 and 1686 the architect Carlo Fontana added the current façade, notable for its concave design.
